I am a PhD candidate in Economics and Finance at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, advised by Professor Stefano Colombo.

I use game-theoretic models to study firm strategy and market competition. My research lies at the intersection of industrial organization and quantitative marketing, with interests in pricing, information, innovation, and digital markets.

During my PhD, I have visited the Toulouse School of Economics, hosted by Professor Andrew Rhodes, and the University of Minho, hosted by Professor Rosa-Branca Esteves. From September to November 2026, I will visit the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE).
